We followed Four through several corridors, we finally entered a room and began climbing the ladder behind Four, me and Molly were helping Drew climb, his hands were swollen and bruised from the beating.

"Hey, hurry up Drew!" Called Four.

What a cruel joke, I thought. But I would've probably said the same thing.

"Why does he care so much?" I asked Molly.

"About?"

"What happened last night, I mean he could've just shrugged it off he didn't have to save her," I said.

"Or beat me," Drew added.

She shrugged, "Remember what Max told us? It's bravery that drives a person to stand up for another."

I stared at Molly, "Well why didn't he report it?"

Before she could say anything we got to the top and Four began explaining stage 3 and the fear landscapes.

"Wait a minute! That's not fair, what if one person has 6 fears and the other 14" I snapped.

Four then eyed me and walked towards me, "You wanna tell me what's fair and what's not? I can't blame you for being scared though the things you did last night proved something."

I stared at him trying not to flinch. Four continued, "That your afraid of not only losing but of a short, tiny little girl from Abnegation."

Everyone chuckled, Molly and Drew were smirking.

I could feel my face turning red, I was angry but there was nothing I could do about it. I wanted to get back at Four, or even better the Stiff but that would only make things worse.

The guilt was slowly eating me alive, and I can't let that show.

Later on when we were back in the dormitory it was just me, Christina and Tris. Christina left to go to the bathroom and that's when I walked up to her.

"What?" She demanded.

"I'm sorry," I mumbled not looking her in the eyes.

"Your what?" She asked suprised.

"I'm sorry okay? For trying to kill you."

"And rape-"

"Rape? I wasn't planning on raping you! Just psyche you out!" I snapped. She's making this much harder then it is.

"Hm," she turned away and that's when I turned her around and rubbed her chest.

"This is trying to rape you!" I yelled.

That's when Christina, Molly and Will ran in.

Will pinned me against the bunk while Christina knelt down to Tris. Molly just stood there.

"What the hell is your problem? We hears everything outside so don't deny it!" Will snapped still pinning me against the bunk, his eyes full of hatred.

"Hm and who's gonna believe you?" I asked.

Will then threw a punch for my eye but I jerked so he ended up hitting my cheek. I shoved him off of me and we began throwing punches. I then saw Molly exit and that's when Will got me in the eye.

"Enough!" A voice called.

Everyone looked up, it was Eric.

"What the hell is going on here?!" He demanded.

Four and all the initates entered, "What is going on here?"

Tris then got up shakingly and ran out of the room.

"Tris!" Called Christina running after her.

"I apologized to The Stiff like you told me to, she said no-"

"You touched her!" Will snapped.

"Again?!" Albet yelled, it was the first time I heard him yell he then rushed out too.

"What does he mean again?" Demanded Eric turning to Four, Will also soon stormed out of the room leaving all eyes on me.

"There was an incident at the chasm last night," replied Four.

"And why wasn't I aware of this?" Asked Eric.

"The victim requested not to report this," Four replied.

"Who threw the first punch?" Eric asked.

"Will," I replied.

"You will both be punished," Eric declared. I gulped, "You got very lucky. If this was reported I can assure you you would've been kicked out of Dauntless."

The next day Albert was found dead, he had through himself over the chasm as a suicide. "He couldn't handle the pressures of initiation," explained Lauren, the Dauntless born instructors.

"Or the guilt," mumbled Drew.

"If you need someone to talk to Amity counselors will be here all week, we don't want any more incidents," said another Dauntless member.

"Funeral will be in 5 minutes," said Four.

"Are you going?" Asked Molly.

"I guess, hey...why didn't you do anything while Will was beating me up?" I asked.

"You deserved it," Molly said shrugging.

I deserved it?
